VPN not working on Windows 10 1903

I am an IT technician at an IT company. One of our clients has asked us to install a fresh version of Windows onto 6 of their PCs.

These PC's are old PC's that they do not use - meaning that they have had a fresh version of Windows installed onto them. This has been upgraded to 1903. I have attempted to setup a VPN connection in order to connect the PC's to the company's domain. When doing so, the VPN connection just hangs on 'Connecting to vpn'

I know 1903 is still very new into the world, but wondering if anyone knows how this issue can be resolved?

    I don't know what that code does but id be leary about running a powershell command with admin rights AND when the author says "*Note: During the command execution you'll receive some errors, which can be safely ignored."  Be cautious....very cautious.

    That particular Powershell command is a very common one that re-registers Windows apps. It's safe.

    Good Morning. I have version / build 1909 and only got VPN access after creating a shortcut to C: \ Windows \ System32 \ rasphone.exe. By the traditional method (using the network icon and selecting the VPN connection or going straight to the connection) it kept showing "connecting" until timeout.

    So...same symptom as 1903, and STILL not fixed. Wow...
